So, Katy Perry made this really cute video with Elmo of Sesame Street to her song Hot and Cold.  (Not sure the title is correct--not my strong suit.)  It was posted on You Tube before it aired on Sesame Street but Sesame Street got so many complaints, they pulled it from You Tube and will not air it.  The complaint was that her dress was too skimpy.  It was short and apparently they did not think that it covered enough on top.  Now, Katy Perry is not a double D kind of gal and she has cute little legs.  The video was not sexual at ALL--it was very cute.  This goes in my category of sometimes the people who complain and I'm not entirely sure who they are:  A. Have too much time on their hands and B. Often go overboard.  While I do think that teenager's dress has a lot to be desired, I question the "complainers" judgement.  They are OK with their daughters idolizing any character Disney creates because Disney is wholesome, yet the minute, those "creations" leave the Disney fold they become not-so desireable role models---Miley Cyrus, Brittney Spears and Christina Aguilara come to mind first.  Out of those three the only one I truely believe has talent is Christina and none of them are considered wholesome at this point.  Guess what?  After they leave Disney our children still idolize them.  At least with Katy Perry, what you see is what you get and honestly, she is refreshing.  Instead of sheltering our children from this entertainment maybe we should teach them WHO they should look up to and WHO they should emulate in their life.  Then maybe, they will choose friends that will not influence them in negative ways.  Maybe then, they will wait to have a sexual encounter.  Maybe then, they will know when the line is crossed.  They will not learn by sheltering, they only learn because they are taught how to make good choices on their own.
